A statement from MEHRD says after the July holidays, students are expected to send to NTU these documents.

MEHRD says this is important so that NTU can monitor and evaluate their progress from the previous trimester.

MEHRD says every government sponsored students are obliged to provide details of their academic transcript and registration details before NTU can pay their allowances.

The statement says students that have not sent in their transcripts and registration detail will expect to have their allowances delayed.

Based on the documents, NTU will make decisions whether to terminate scholarships or not.
Under-performers will have their scholarship terminated.

It is understood a number of SIG sponsored students in higher education institutions overseas have had their scholarships terminated and have continued to arrive back in the country over the past weeks.

At the same time, MEHRD says allowances for students in various institutions in the Philippines had been paid already. The statements says students allowances for the month of August have been processed in July already. Process of payment will be in accordance with SIG procurement regulations and compliance system and requirements.

MEHRD says students have been paid their allowances for the months of April, May,and June already.

According to NTU, July allowance for the students is sufficient to sustain them through August.
